More than 25 people have died and thousands are homeless after the Hurricane tore through several Caribbean islands, including Cuba, Puerto Rico and the British and US Virgin Islands.

It has now hit the south west coast of America.

Several countries, including the UK, have responded to the disaster by sending military personnel to deliver aid to the islands. However, many tourists are stranded as flights have been grounded.

In a statement, Mr Redwood said: "I am glad to report my two constituents have got off their holiday island on a US military flight and are hoping to fly back on normal flights from USA.

"I am still pursuing the issue for others.

"I want the UK Government to help the private sector and the Governments of the islands to plan for the safe passage home of all those UK tourists, business people and others who want to get back after their harrowing time with the disaster.

"I have therefore written to both the Minister of State in charge, Sir Alan Duncan, and to the Foreign Secretary urging them to consider this and make more advice and help available as soon as possible.

"I appreciate airports and seaports have in many cases been damaged and the weather still presents hazards to shipping and planes.

"But those stuck would like to know someone is planning to recreate some transport links that can work soon."

The British Government has been criticised by MPs who believe it was too slow to respond.
